Description

Located adjacent to Loon Lake, the campground is situated in a mixed coniferous forest with granite formations dotting the landscape. The Lake is at an elevation of 6500 feet with cold, crystal clear waters that make fishing and boating a great attraction. Other popular activities include horseback riding and four-wheeling.

There is firewood sold at the campground, but depending on weather conditions there may be fire restrictions. Contact the Eldorado Information Center at (530)644-6048 for local information and conditions.
